2 The Dallas Post NEWS Friday, June 20, 2003 Probe (continued from page 1) v weapons violation stemming from a burglary in the Back Mountain, police said. Weakley spent several years in a prison with Selenski and is believed to have a substantial amount of knowledge about some of the bodies. It is unclear how much information Russin has about the bodies, a source said. Russin’s attorney, Paul Ack- ourey, said details of his arrest, made by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, remain sealed. A preliminary hearing on the charges scheduled for Wednesday was postponed at Ackourey’s request. Patrick Russin, remains jailed at the Pike County’ prison on federal weapons charges. Russin does not have a crimi- nal history in Luzerne County, but his mother, Patricia Russin, filed for a protection-from-abuse order against him in November. Patrick Russin was temporar- ily lodged at First Hospital Wyoming Valley in Kingston for a mental health evaluation, ac- cording to the court papers. FOR THE DALLAS POST/DON CAREY A New York State Police K-9 officer and his dog held their position as they prepared to join a search Tuesday at the home on Mt. Olivet Road in Kingston Township where the remains of five people have been found so far. Roundabout - (continued from page 1) scale) in the intersection. Mattei said once the round- about is complete, it is project- ed to put the level of service during non-peak hours at C, and at D during peak hours. Mattei presented council and others present with seven dif- ferent possible roundabout con- figurations, the goal of which was to provide ideas about what would be possible for in such a project. The possibilities ranged from the traditional circular shape to ovals and even one that was a softened triangle. Mattei said the interior of the roundabout would be reserved for an aes- thetic concept, the design of which would be up to the bor- ough. ; At least three of the options that were presented hinged on Lake Street being one-way. Mattei said none of the seven sketches were intended to be- come the final plan, but instead MOUNTAIN MULCH ‘SUPER SPECIAL 3 BOXWOODS ONLY B&B Green Gems & Green Velvets CALL 826-7001 (/)/14 ALL COLORED MULCH ..$13.00/scp HARDWOOD MULCH .... $11.00/ so $10.00/sc0 $10.00/sco SCRANTON - HAMLIN WILKES-BARRE A 17.108 47/78]/7 {@More Mulch, Less Money!

As for Lake Street possibly being changed to one-way, Mat- tei said that final decision would eventually fall to council, but not for more than a year. Members of council assured those present that they do not intend to change the street. Mattei said PennDOT would make every effort to accommo- date the concern. Mattei said the roundabout would be the first in northeast- ern Pennsylvania and that there are only about four or five oth- ers in the state. According to Mattei, the roundabout would simultane- ously eliminate the need for traffic signals, slow traffic and reduce waiting time. Because cars will be moving slowly rather than stopping, pollution is lessened as well. 164 UNITED PENN PLAZA KINGSTON 283 5116 Mon.-Wed. & Sat. 10-5 Thurs. & Fri. 10-8 * Sun. 12-4 1 Yala Daily 7:00 ¢FrilSat 9:30 Sat/Sun 4:00 + Sat/Sun/Wed 1:00 Emo Daily 7:15 + FrilSat 9:15 Sat/Sun 4:15 + Sat/Sun/Wed 1:15 con’ BRUCE ALMIGHTY THEATER BEST 4at=1alal=11¢ “MORE THAN THE MOVIES” 836-1022 www.dietrichtheater.com Police (continued from page 1) vides a testing ground for the equipment by local law enforce- ment.
